GLOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 328,261, dated October 13, 1885.

Application filed December 15, 1884. Serial No.150,46'2. (ModeL) Patented in France October 10, 1884, No. 164,676; in Belgium November 6, 1884, No. 66,792, and in England November 8, 1884, No. 14,759.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LoUIs ETIENNE VAL- LIER, a citizen of the Republic of France, and a resident of Grenoble, (Isere,) France, have invented an Improvement in Embroidered Gloves, (for which I have obtained French Patent No. 164,676, October 10, 1884:; Belgian Patent N 0. 66,792, November 6, 1884, and British Patent No. 14, 759, November 8, 1884,) of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide gloves with embroidery in such a manner and of such a character that the embroidery itself will not pass through the glove material, that the glove itself will be less liable to tear, and that there will be an economy of silk in applying the embroidery.

This object I attain by securing the embroidery-thread on the surface of the glove by a separate fine thread, which alone passes into the material of the glove without passing through it, or, at any rate, very slightly, according to the thickness of the material of the glove.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front view of that half of aglove-blank which forms the back of the glove. Fig. 2 is a View of the reverse side of the same; and Fig. 8 is a sectional "iew drawn to an enlarged scale, and illustrating the manner of forming the embroidery and securing it to the material of which the body of the glove is formed.

In the drawings, A is the skin or leather of which the glove-blank is formed, and in carrying out my invention I prefer to embroider the blank after it is out and before it is made up into the glove.

B B represent the lines of embroidery, which may be made of any suitable thickness by sewing the embroidering-thread on in single, double, or treble rows. In the drawings I have represented each line of embroidery as consisting of a double row, the two rows of each line being formed one after the other, one line running in one direction and the other in the other.

It will be observed on reference to Fig. 3 that in forming each row two threads are used, one, I), being a thick thread of twisted silk or other suitable material of the desired size which lies in loops on the surface of the ski] or leather, and is secured thereto by a fin thread, a, which passes over and through th loops and into the body A of the material 0 which the glove is formed, but, preferably, no through the same, and thus securely binding the embroidery-threads on the surface of th glove-blank. The ends of the rows of embroid ery which form the lines or bands B ar passed through the blank to the inside, am are there secured by tying, knotting, or other wise, as illustrated at b, Fig. 2.

In carrying out my invention the loopin of the thick thread b and the stitching of thes loops by the thread a to the glove-blank ar preferably carried out at the same time, th stitching-thread being carried by the needle while the embroidery-thread b is carried by a embroidering-hook on the machine.

As I have said, the embroidery may be mad of greater or less width by increasing or de creasing the number of rows arranged side b side, and various shades may be obtained i the same embroidery by using for the adjoir ing rows of each line or band silks of diflei ent shades or colors.

A glove provided with embroidery in th manner described is less liable to burst 0 break on stretching than gloves with embroid ery made in the usual manner, and there is a economy of silk used in the embroidery by st ciiring the embroidery-threads simply on th surface of the glove-blank by a separate fin thread.

I claim as my invention- As a new article of manufacture, a glov provided with embroidery consisting of en broidery-threads on the surface of the glov and separate fine securingthreads passing int but not through the glove material, substar tially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my nanc to this specification in the presence of tw subscribing witnesses.

LOUIS ETIENNE VALLIER.
